| Reviews + More "In the best sense, Anderson's treatment of these topics is well suited for his American audience, but is also useful beyond our borders. . . . Anderson's emphasis on Buddhism's grounded practicality shines clearly for any open-minded seeker." —Publisher's Weekly |

"I was struck by the honesty and humility with which Anderson Roshi shares his stories. It is because of this honesty that Being Upright succeeds in illustrating just how subtle and difficult the practice of the precepts can be."
—Mountain Record: The Zen Practitioner's Journal |

"Anderson makes it abundantly clear that the precepts are not only integral to Zen practice, but also have the capacity to help anyone sort through the moral complexities that so often beset modern life."
—Tricycle: The Buddhist Review |
